Program Description

The QMEA selects up to 20 of the best and brightest senior students each year to become QMEA Student Ambassadors.

Year 11 students from both VET and professional pathways are eligible to apply for this program to take up their roles in Year 12.

Students selected as QMEA Student Ambassadors participate in activities over 12 months that will increase their understanding of the resources sector, provide opportunities for networking with other students and industry representatives and develop leadership skills.

Students are required to attend a three-day QMEA Student Ambassador Program in Brisbane in December.

During the year, they will also be invited to participate in many QMEA activities and may be asked to promote the QMEA and the benefits of working in the resources sector to industry, students and the community.
